The running_trace_lock protects running_trace_list and is acquired within the tracepoint which implies disabled preemption. The spinlock_t typed lock can not be acquired with disabled preemption on PREEMPT_RT because it becomes a sleeping lock. The runtime of the tracepoint depends on the number of entries in running_trace_list and has no limit. The blk-tracer is considered debug code and higher latencies here are okay. Make running_trace_lock a raw_spinlock_t.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
